when i short out the plugs at the terminal that passes thru the firewall from the coilbox at get spark at 1,2 & 3. nothing at #4. i have switched around the coils which are new from langs and get the same result. what's next ? timer ?

thanks, i'll check him out

so today i pulled the timer, cleaned it and reassembled it. still missing. does anyone know where i can have my coils tested in the north new jersey area ? and thanks jerry for the vote of confidence

i'll pull the radiator first.

P.S. yes, i was running on battery. next time i will switch to magneto.

i will pull the timer off and clean it. do they sell a rebuilding kit? i see a few parts on snyders website. anyway, thats it for this weekend. i'll pull it off next saturday and see what it looks like in there. i guess i should put new parts where possible, theyre not too expensive. also, i need to...

today i took all 4 coils out and cleaned all contact points. i reassembled just as they were without a gap tool. will incorrect gap cause it to run rough ? anyway all 4 are arcing good and still runs rough. a new set of plugs from macs should be here by tues. if the plugs don't do it then its down t...

i will try that today. keep you posted

no vacuum leak. when you say switch the coils, do you mean switch terminals on the fire wall ?

thanks guys, goin out to the garage to check for vacuum leak first then ill switch coil wires

i'll get the manual out. don't know much about the timer

my 1913 touring suddenly started running rough yesterday. it was sitting most of the winter so i drained the bowl on the carb. no water there. so i shorted out all 4 plugs. motor clearly bogs down on 3 of the 4 pistons. the #2 plug (as i count from the front) is getting juice but when i short it out...

thank you

Can anyone tell me if these tools are for A Model T?

Two questions; what was the last year for all white tires? And should all model T's have a drain plug on the Rear end ?

Thank you very much. And electric start was the same year?

What was the first year Demountable rims were offered ?

Steve, do you know where I can buy one?

Can anyone recommend the best place to get a 1913 owners manual?

I noticed some have pinstriping and some do not. Was the pinstriping offered from the factory?

I have no plans to change anything on the car. I love it just the way it is. For educational purposes I tell people it is pretty much the way a model T was in 1913. I was just curious as to how correct it was, but none of it matters as long as the differences aren't striking. I would like to get a s...

I do not plan on showing it, I just like driving it. It is my third model T. I sold the other two to buy this one. I was just curious as to how Correct it is. I realize original was the wrong term. So is it true that all 1913's came with a speedometer? The gas headlights will be operational soon. I ...

And a few more

More photos

Here is my 1913 touring. Modifications are demountable rims, 12 V system, electric start and a ruckstell. I bought the car the way it sits, I would appreciate any comments as far as originality goes

Why don't we do a new thread every quarter. We can number them 1Q-19, 2Q-19,etc

I went to visit friends in Kent in September 2017 and thought I would take a ride to tour highclere castle. Of course the one day I decide to drive there they are closed for maintenance.

I'll check it out, thank you

James, thank you for that link showing all the vehicles in the entire series. It answers a lot of questions for me. It's interesting that some of the photos titled "unidentified vehicle" are obviously brass era T's

Has anyone see this series ? There are a lot of t's in this show. The period starts in the brass era and goes thru the twenties. Lots of brass t's and tt's Even a few town cars. Lots of other cars whose brands I am not sure of. It's fun watching the show just to try and identify cars. I'm pretty sur...
